For the Town by the Allow from here far away
But with a young Australian husband and a baby son here she will stay
Though she often thinks of her family and past friends as most migrants do one can say
Quite attractive looking in her mid twenties shoulder length wavy hair of light brown
Because of her one lovelorn young man today in Kanturk Town
He hoped that one day she would become his wife
But what we hope for does not always come to us in life
The young woman from Kanturk in her physical prime
The nostalgia she now feels will fade out in time
Though she will always think of her first hometown in Duhallow's green old countryside
Nostalgia and migration by a common link tied
When the blackbirds, thrushes and robins and finches does sing
with her husband and baby she will not be in Kanturk this Spring
The Town in Duhallow where River Allow
On towards the Blackwater forever does flow
